When I first visited, I was charmed by the warm welcome I received from all the residence’s representatives. I’m really touched by the compassionate atmosphere here. The staff are so kind and welcoming, and they always listen. I feel safe here, and the organized activities are exceptional. My lifestyle has changed a lot since I moved into Ambiance. I’m very pleased with my choice!
Lolo Nohra, resident at Ambiance
Ambiance is a people-centred seniors’ residence. That’s why we chose to live here. That, and the fact that it’s so close to the central district of Nuns’ Island. Thanks to all the shops in the vicinity, we enjoy a good quality of life. We also enjoy the variety of activities on offer and the option to eat in when we choose to. Plus, the staff are very kind, devoted and generous! The residence allows us to be independent while also feeling taken care of when needed, and that is something we’re particularly pleased with. We’re proud to invite our friends and family to visit us at Ambiance!

It's 1818 in Hampstead Village on the outskirts of London. Poet Charles Brown lives in one half of a house, the Dilkes family the other. Through association with the Dilkes, the fatherless Brawne family knows Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown and the Brawne's eldest daughter, Fanny, don't like each other. She thinks him arrogant and rude; he feels that she's a pretentious flirt, knowing only how to sew (admittedly well as she makes all her own fashionable clothes), and voicing opinions on subjects about which she knows nothing. Insecure struggling poet John Keats comes to live with his friend, Mr. Brown. Miss Brawne and Mr. Keats have a mutual attraction to each other, but their relationship is slow to develop, in part, since Mr. Brown does whatever he can to keep the two apart. Other obstacles face the couple, including their eventual overwhelming passion for each other clouding their view of what the other does, Mr. Keats' struggling career, which offers him little in the way of monetary security (which will lead to Mrs. Brawne not giving consent for them to marry), and health issues which had earlier taken the life of Mr. Keats' brother, Tom.cesse de le marteler jusqu'à ce que ses amis lui conseillent de quitter l'Angleterre pour de plus chaudes contrées.
